A real boost to my ego!

My brother in law runs marathons, over the past few years I have attended various events to support him and cheer him on.
In past years people would sometimes come up to me and say:
"Hey Rhys are you running today......hahahaha....." and I'd reply along the lines of "Ha Ha no, I ran it twice yesterday hahahahaha" I'm sure you get the drift...the kind of mocking one often receives because of the fat problem.
Last weekend, I went to watch him run a local 10K race, this time, the question was the same, but it wasn't asked as a joke, they were serious.
Every day people tell me how great I look and how much weight I've lost, but somehow, what happened last weekend at the race makes me quite emotional, so much so that next year, the answer is going to be "Yes, I am"
